A PROPOSED FRAMEWORK OF CAREER-ORIENTED COMPETENCES FOR LOWER SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Fostering career-oriented competence for lower secondary school students is important in the 2018 Vietnam General Education Curriculum. Based on the analysis of related theories in career education, the structure of competence and career orientation competence in some studies, psychological characteristics of lower secondary school students, and the requirements for career orientation competence in the 2018 Curriculum, this study proposes a framework of career-oriented competence for them. Competence consists of three components: self-awareness and self-influencing factors in career orientation; exploring the world of career; and making decisions and carrying out plans for career orientation. Each component consists of two elements, and each element has some behavioral indicators. In total, there are 6 elements and 30 behavioral indicators. The framework serves as a reference for developing assessment tools and proposing measures to develop this competence for lower secondary school students, ensuring the effectiveness of student streamlining after lower secondary schools.
